They had the G9 & 200mm there tonight, along with most of the other bodies and lenses.

Subjects were a couple models with 1 pair of Elinchrom studio lights, and another pair outside (in the dark) on a couple cars and models.
Overall, it was considerably darker than the last Drink&Click event I attended so shooting anything other than the models and the moon was fairly pointless.

Bodies: I tried the G9 and G85; the G85 was a bit small for my hands and I liked the G9 better.
The dials on both were not set for EC even in Aperture Priority, which was a problem in the dark brewery and the somewhat harsh studio lights so I didn't shoot with them very long... I also brought my E-M1 and tried several lenses on it.

Lenses:
The 200 looked a little smaller than I expected (although it had no hood)... it's only 10% longer and wider than the 40-150Pro, but it is much heavier. The manual focus is really good (with the switch in auto or manual mode). Definitely sharp as well.

The PL12-60 is impressively compact, esp. compared to my ZD 12-60 but also compared to my 12-40.

PL100-400 - nice, sharp.
The zoom was very stiff until I realized the lock was partially engaged, after which it was fine.

Here's the gear table, taken with the 200mm:
